Fish 'n Fins - The Reef Hook Experience
(deutsche Beschreibung ganz unten)
What is a reef hook?
It is a metal hook approximately 4"(10cm) long attached to a 6 foot (2m) rope
and a snap ring. You secure the snap ring to one of the D rings in your BCD.
Why use a reef hook?
Some of the dive sites in Palau (such as Blue Corner, New Drop Off, Peleliu Corner, etc.) have strong currents (which attract the big fish and sharks). The reef hook enables you to secure yourself to the reef without any effort and without damaging the pristine reef.
How does it work?
While reaching the desired spot on the reef to observe the action, we locate a rock or dead coral and literally hook the reef hook to it. The current will keep the line stretched and both our hands will be free (ideal for photographers). You should put a little air in your BCD to float above the reef, however remember to take it out before you unhook!
Where to buy it?
Invented in Palau by Francis Toribiong, the founder of Fish ‘n Fins, the reef hook can be found in many dive shops around the world. Fish ‘n Fins offers stainless steel hooks for $19.95 that will not rust and will accompany you on many dive expeditions to come.
